I used CFL for years for veg mate. And as
@St. Tom they’re cheap and efficient too. I now use a CMH too veg as I occasionally need something too supplant my flower area so I invested in a light I could use in both circumstances.
I also use a single tube T5 for seedling and they are also very cheap and efficient. I think the single unit cost me about £15. You can get multiple tubes in a unit too increase your light intensity and coverage.
But, if it’s cheap and cheerful your after you can’t go far wrong with a cfl. A 300w is about £30. Plus, you buy blue spectrum cfl bulbs which are perfect for veg.
